Julia,

thanks a lot for fixing this.

Could you please redo the patch in a way that it adds second
'exit_unlock1' label (and renames 'exit_unlock' to 'exit_unlock2') (or
any appropriate variation of the names) and preserve error path using goto
instead of mixture of returns and gotos that this patch would introduce?

Thanks,
